Manhattan | A Quiet Rooftop at Pier 57 to Relax After Work 🌅

After dinner, I took a walk by the Hudson River. Although summer nights can sometimes be muggy, the gentle evening breeze made this walk quite comfortable. 🎢🍃 Pier 57 is a new landmark by the Hudson River. It used to be a shipping dock and a bus stop, but after renovation, it reopened in recent years. 🌅The first floor is a food hall (clean version), with bars, restaurants, and snack shops. At the end, there's a public gathering area. The rooftop park offers views of the Hudson River. You can bring snacks and a picnic blanket to enjoy the breeze in the sunset glow. 🎢🍃 Unlike many bustling parks in Manhattan, Pier 57 uniquely lacks the hustle and bustle of street performers. 🌅 Instead, it's more about people interacting with each other or simply immersing themselves in the tranquility. A few minutes' walk from Pier 57 is Little Island, which looks like a high - footed glass, a forest floating on the water. 🎢🍃 The Amphitheater (The Amph) hosts outdoor performances in the summer. You can check the performance schedule on the official website, and some shows are free. 🌅People of all kinds, with different stories, elegant ladies, leisurely tourists, cuddling couples, and relaxing workers. In this busy city, being an observer is a unique pleasure in itself. #NewYorkLife #Manhattan
